China’s Submarine Fleet, Evolution & news

. .
Think the Russians have the biggest SLBM. They are known for building bigger things. The Trident will be the same even with the new SSBNX is introduced. Only thing I heard is improved guidance system.

On the contrary, Bulava is actually the smallest intercontinental SLBM out of the P5 nations.

Where do you get confirmation that it was DN-3 ?

For the moment I'm scared about what you chinese guys called 脑补...

Henri K.

It was a GMD test, but we don't nitpick about its name, so it can be DN-3.

But KKTT claimed it was a terminal phase test like HQ-19, but he was obviously wrong.

Thank you for that information.

Bill Gertz is good to let us know something had happeded, but he used to call every chinese test an ASAT, so for this part he is not credible.

Henri K.

Of course, he got the political purpose and ulterior motive to demonize China's space weaponization, because "it will create more debris which will turn out to be dangerous for other nations' rockets" according to them.

KKTT has never assert that the so called DN-3 is a terminal phase test

His assertion was clearly wrong, it was a GMD test, not a terminal phase one.

而KKTT则认为种种迹象显示那次试验可能是一次大气上层末段反导拦截试验,试验中地面所观察到的空中异象是高空阳光照射到导弹和尾迹反光所致,并不能表示导弹的真实飞行轨迹。

Well, this one was made in Ukraine, and it is already retired right now.

True it was retired. But it was still made in Russia.

The R-39 Rif (NATO reporting name: SS-NX-20 Sturgeon; bilateral arms control designation: RSM-52 ) was a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) that served with the Soviet Navy from its introduction in 1983 until 1991, after which it served with the Russian Navy until 2004. The missile had GRAU indices of 3M65, 3M20, and 3R65. It was carried on board Typhoon-class submarines.

I have followed that post since 1st November and I don't think KKTT had ever suggested that the launch was a endo-atmospheric terminal phase test. No signs of edit on his posts as well.

He deleted his comment, since he was surprised that his prediction wasn't correct.

I saw his comment about HQ-19 as the test in Xinjiang.

Not in the same factory, since the R-39 was made in the factory of Ukraine, while Bulava was made in Russia's.
